They are the same process
Mma ,manual metal arc

That’s what I had thought.


The MMA ones on the first page are twice the price of the arc ones on the second page [emoji848]

I never really bother looking at the spec of the rods other than the diameter.

for some jobs imo its better to spend bit more than just the cheapest bottom of the range ones....
Bohler Phoenix [6013] are nice general purpose rods to use

Think Bohler are OK for general sticking junk together, but Phoenix Blau weld a lot nicer, more like the old Murex or ESAB (which imho are the best, but hellish dear now) used to be.

I see you can get different types of bohler 6013, Phoenix Blau being the dearest , you any idea the differences in their rods?

The ones I am using at the moment are Bohler Phoenix 6013. They are fine enough, but dont just run or drop the slag as nicely as the old Phoenix Blau in the pink box, which are I believe a superior rod.
